Measurements dialog box
The Measurements dialog box displays all the readings the TV80 is currently receiving from the sensors installed. With just a look you can easily identify all the measurements, the channel the information is coming through and if the TV80 is acknowledging it. The Measurements dialog box will vary according to the selected communication port.
How to open
The Measurements dialog box, is opened from the I/O Setup page on the Installation dialog box.The Installation dialog box is located on the Setup menu.
To open, select the inspection point at the very left of every “block diagram”.

Description
Every external equipment connected to the TV80 system offers one or more measurements. A gauge allows you to see the information you want from the sensor you choose and with the preferred appearance. You can view on your screen presentation any measurement received by the TV80 with a gauge of your choice. In the Measurements dialog box you can easily see all the measurements received in a specific port and if the TV80 system is validating it.
Note
Inspection points provide important information about the connection. The colour of an inspection point helps you to identify the quality of the information that is received.
•  When an inspection point is green, the information is properly received.
•  When an inspection point is red, it means that a specific datagram is not recognized. This is not a critical error since many systems have proprietary NMEA datagram sentences that are not used, and therefore do not need decoding.

Time
You can see the latest updated date and the time of the measurement. This will help you check if the system is receiving updated information.
Measurements
A list of all the measurements appears. The name of every measurement correspond to those defined in the Select Sensors dialog box.
Channel
This is the communication channel used between the gear monitoring sensor and the TV80.
Value
A number identifies the current value of the specified measurement. The number will vary depending on the units selected in the Units dialog box.
Recognized
You can see if the TV80 is taking the measurement as a valid value (“y” letter) or not (“n” letter).
